 Hello everybody, Andrew Majeski here with Dental Owl. So it is June the first and I am getting ready to go back to work I did upload a video a couple days ago. I think But it's been very overwhelming because for some of you guys who are kind of following things closely Especially here in Ontario we follow the CDHO. So that's the College of Dental Hygienists Ontario so that's kind of who we follow and who we have to listen to but then there's the RCDSO which I kind of RCDSO RCDSO that's the dental association so that's who the dentists have to follow and Where things get difficult is when or if you are a dental hygienist as most of we are we work for a dental office So do you follow your hygiene association guidelines? The answer is yes Or do you follow the dental association guidelines and guess what? They're different. So there's some confusion where for those of you guys who are working in a dental office Certain things don't match up and you have to follow what your dental hygiene Association is suggesting not what the dental association is Suggesting because yes, you work for your boss It's up to him, but you could get in a lot of trouble if you're not following yours So I've been talking to you a lot of hygienists and there are a lot of hygienists You have decided not to go back to work yet until there's a clear fine line Because as you can imagine things can get very confusing such as do we wear a gown or do we not wear a gown? There's talk about masks. Do we wear the N95 masks or do we wear the level 3 masks? I'm happy to say for once Mobile hygiene if you are an independent dental hygienist meaning you have your own practice We don't work under a dentist. So it doesn't matter. I mean it matters to me But I follow the dental hygiene association guidelines only not the dental association Guidelines because I don't work for dental office. So I don't have to worry about oh, do I have to go to work? And they don't have enough PPE for the dental association You know, this might be okay, but we need this type of mask. So things can be very confusing. So that's one thing that I'm happy to say Just kind of in a nutshell because this seems to be the most confusing Confusing is what type of mask to wear a level 3 mask is a lot more comfortable I can't find an N95 mask anywhere But that means that I'm not going to be doing anything that is creating spatter or aerosols meaning I'm not going to use the ultrasonic polishing things like that. I am going to wear a gown for every single patient but even then it's kind of Things might change by the time I do this video But they're kind of saying if you're not using the ultrasonic you're not polishing you're not using high-speed handpiece You might not have to wear a gown. So there's a lot of things that are kind of confusing The main thing for mobile is and I don't know if I mentioned this in my last video or not But we need to make sure to be wiping down our car. So like handles our car handle our like Our steering wheel that we're obviously touching if we're touching anything else We need to wipe that down and we need to make sure to change out of our uniform per household So that's something yet In Your dental office or in your operatory which this is mine Completely decluttered right now, of course I have the dogs just hanging out now But that would not be happening if I was it was expecting a patient today We are supposed to see one patient every three hours unless we have certain air filtration systems and all of that HVAC systems I think they talked about too so the nice thing about me being mobile is I don't have to worry about the three-hour window because I'm Going to other houses. It's usually about three hours in between Anyway, because when I clean on patients teeth, it's about an hour and 15 minutes for a new patient But then there's 20 minutes setup time for mobile and 20 minutes tear down It's probably going to take longer now because I'll need to change out of a new uniform I'll be wearing a mask at all times and then when I start treatment I'll be in the full like PPE like masks loops shield hair cap gown the whole works But I'll let you guys know I haven't started working yet because I'm just kind of Getting my puzzle pieces of a schedule together because that's trickier when you're when you're mobile because you're going to certain cities Right certain cities on different days. I'm just kind of working that out But when I start working I will let you guys know how that went my thoughts and I'll go from there Okay, let me know though if you guys have any questions. I am very very happy to help as always and I'll see you guys in the next one
